ObjectivesTo evaluate the developmental correlates of microcephaly evident at birth and at 2 years in a cohort born at extremely low gestational age.MethodsWe assessed development and motor function at 2 years of 958 children born before the 28th week of gestation, comparing those who had microcephaly at birth or ...

In the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), muons are cooled by passing through material, then through RF cavities to compensate for the energy loss; which reduces the transverse emittance. It is planned to demonstrate longitudinal emittance reduction via emittance exchange in MICE by using a solid wedge absorber in Step IV. Based on the outcome of ...

An analysis of changes in the SM-1 core indicated that re-insertion of the SM-2B stationary element and insertion of surveillance specimens do not affect hazards potential previously defined for SM-1. Replacement of the europium absorber by the Ag-Cd-In absorber will have negligible effect on reactivty control worth of the rod. The ...

We report upon a patient who underwent a subtotal colectomy 2 years prior to presenting for a percutaneous nephrolithotomy of a large stone in the left renal pelvis. At the time of surgery, a non-absorbable suture was found embedded in the stone. Both stone and suture were removed percutaneously. PMID:18304407

Changes in perceptions of discrimination were examined with 668 Latino students (62% Mexican American; 56% female; M(age) = 14.6 years). Adolescents' reports of discrimination increased across the first 2 years of high school. Perceptions of discrimination were higher for boys and for primary language brokers, as well as for adolescents in schools with ...

Purpose: Adjuvant, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemoradiotherapy for completely resected high-risk gastric adenocarcinoma has been shown to improve survival in a randomized Intergroup trial. However, the results still showed an unsatisfactory outcome. On the basis of previously reported results of a Phase II trial using a more aggressive, cisplatin-containing chemoradiotherapy ...

This study examined the prevalence of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms at 2 years postpartum and the relationship between such symptoms and both self-reported parenting stress and perceptions of the mother-child relationship. 81 women completed measures of childbirth-related PTS symptoms at 6 weeks and 3 months postpartum; these ...

BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to be an effective surgical intervention for people with end-stage knee osteoarthritis. However, recovery of function is variable, and not all people have successful outcomes.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to discern which early postoperative functional measures could predict functional ability at 1 year and ...

We report a case of fetal myocarditis without conductive abnormality in a pregnant woman with anti-Ro/La antibodies. Fetal echocardiography showed myocarditis with ventricular and valvular hyperechogenicity, which was confirmed by postnatal transthoracic echography. Treatment with dexamethasone (4 mg/day) was started in the 22nd week of gestation. The outcome was good, with ...

Summary. Background: Although lower birth weight associated with prematurity raises the risk of asthma in childhood, few prospective studies have examined higher birth weight, and few have separated the two components of birth weight, fetal growth and length of gestation.Objective. To examine the associations of fetal growth and length of gestation with asthma-related outcomes ...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the costs and benefits associated with multisystemic therapy (MST) for conduct disordered youth, 2 years following intake. Methods: The study employed a secondary analysis of 156 youth enrolled in a randomized trial assessing the psychosocial and behavioral outcomes of MST. ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the 2-year clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA; symptom duration <1 year) who had initially responded well to methotrexate monotherapy.METHODS: In the SWEFOT trial, all 487 patients started methotrexate (target dose 20 mg/week). After 3-4 months, 147 had low disease activity, 28-joint based disease ...

An intervention group (n = 23) of preschool children with autism was identified on the basis of parent preference for early intensive behavioral intervention and a comparison group (n = 21) identified as receiving treatment as usual. Prospective assessment was undertaken before treatment, after 1 year of treatment, and again after 2 years. Groups did not ...

Although inorganic exchangers offer many advantages for removing selected elements from radioactive waste streams, few of these materials are suitable for use in packed-bed columns. We review various adaptations of inorganic exchangers for use in columns, which include granular forms of the intrinsic absorbers, absorber compounds supported on other ...

This paper presents an opto-physiological model (OPM) to quantify the absorbance of multi-layered tissue in imaging photoplethysmography (IPPG). The approach used to generate such a model is to revise the path length of the Beer Lambert law through the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of multi-layered tissue. The OPM can mathematically quantify the effect of optical properties on ...
